The latest AMTech newsletter gives an exciting sneak preview of a new AMtech Limited Gold Series. The first releases will be a series of three 1/48th scale F2H Banshee models.

The newsletter includes images of 3 mock-ups - these are (in AMTech's own words):

F2H-2 Banshee Fighter-Bomber
The REAL aircraft from “The Bridges at Toko-Ri,” and McDonnell’s first big hit, the elegant F2H-2. The Navy’s first aircraft with a top speed of over 500mph, the Banshee saw several different variations. This is the one that dropped bombs on bad guys.

F2H-2P/2N
With parts for both the -2P photorecon bird (shown) that saw such extensive use in Korea, and the -2N Nightfighter (the Navy’s first jet Nightfighter), there are both colorful markings available and kinda interesting-looking aircraft.

F2H-3/4
The final version of the Banshee, this “stretched” version will feature both Canadian markings, and the parts needed to make a “nuke” bird of VF-11 off the U.S.S. Coral Sea. In fact, it is pictured below.

AMTech describe the series as "2004's Big Risk" as they determine the viability of '50s jets as subjects for kit releases. Something tells me they needn't worry too much...
